I love how every crazy person starts out blaming industrial society for being bad and then just pivots to this weird obsession with the leftists - who have no real power in any country - or the Jews

if you even bother to read the text you'll see that Kaczynski very clearly defines the term "leftist" and explicitly differentiates it from any 19th century political orientation

if you control+F+replace with "liberals" everyone in this dipshit subforum would be jerking off and acknowledging that he is 100% completely right, because he is

his 'clear definition' claims that leftists identify with the downtrodden on the basis of self-hate, which ignores the more obvious reason, empathy, and is nothing but a masturbatory ego-stroking segue into how he rediscovered the concept of alienation, but was too stupid to not buy into the noble savage myth

there is no 'ctrl-f' replace that will make him seem smarter, or somehow make his work not fundamentally broken

Well if you want to cop to not hating yourself I'd certainly be surprised lol

Kaczynski's argument is that the green-anarchists / anarcho-prims are wrong precisely because of the noble savage myth. They have romanticized the past by projecting their own modern desires onto it, and imagine it as being a time where there was gender equality, less labor, unity with nature, etc. This is completely false, and he says exactly this in his further writings. You don't actually know anything about what he believes
